Norbury Park Lawn Tennis Club, established in 1889, faces potential closure due to Croydon Council's sell-off plans amidst a financial crisis. To secure a long-term lease, the club must raise £90,000. The club serves as a vital community hub, hosting events and promoting well-being. It has raised half of its financial goal through various fundraising efforts. Croydon Council is collaborating with the club to finalize the lease, reassuring members of its commitment to their security.
"The value to the community is just immense. It's great for both the tennis community and the people here in Norbury as well."
"We have lots of children's parties and we rent it out to a nursery during the day and it's used as a polling station. It's a real focal point for the community."
